Famous quotes containing the words falling and/or asleep:
“O falling fire and piercing cry
and panic, and a weak mailed fist
clenched ignorant against the sky!”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
““... Or how should love be worth its pains were it not
That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,
Being wearied out, I love in man the child?
What can they know of love that do not know
She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge
Above a windy precipice?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
